3 Religions of the Middle East and Project

Thursday- We finished up our powerpoint presentation on the ethnic groups and religions of the Middle East and began charting our religion information. We also used some of class today to see how we would be using this information next week to complete our first technology assessment of the year. Students were assigned to begin gathering materials electronically to use on the project.

Friday-
We continued our chart on the monotheistic religions through the guided reading in Chapter 16 as well as played a matching game with religion cards. Some of the students received their log on access today in class as well.

Remember that you must start your glog from the project portion of your dashboard or it will not be viewed!!

Enjoy your weekend!
